Given yesterdays new consumer inflationary report (CPI at +8.5% YOY) and todays producer inflationary report (PPI at +11.2% YOY), combined with the fact that MBB has raised entry-level salary recently, how long before consulting as an industry raises entry-level salary and what do you think the NEW expected entry-level salary should be? Differences between MBB, T2, Big 4, etc?

How many fishes here who have got more than 500% hike while switching?

I practice litigation defense and recently started growing a plaintiffs practice on my own at my firm. I’ll probably bring in $300k to the firm just from that this year. Although I enter my time on these cases and they count towards my hourly goal, should I ask for a contingency % in addition to my salary moving forward?

Is an IPO in anyone’s FIRE strategy? Maybe this is specific to the Bay Area, but it doesn’t seem that unrealistic to negotiate enough equity to make $1.5 mill off an IPO. Or maybe I’m dreaming 😂

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

Hie Fishes,
Working as a data Analyst for 11 months now, mostly worked on advanced Excel and Power BI making dashboards now I'm looking to switch, can someone help with new skills i can learn and what should be the CTC i should expect
Thanks in Advance

What is salary slap in market for 7 years of experience person in java spring boot microservices in mumbai location????

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One. I knew that MBB and other consulting firms rarely ever negotiate salary with new grads, so I didn't with Capital One as well. Was that a mistake? What were the likelihoods that they would have raised my salary? I had no other competing offers at the time

What's the typical performance bonus for new experienced hire? Joined in Feb. I'm MBA S&O SC2 if it helps.

Never thought that there would be so many haters in the workplace - what happened to being happy with your own success AND the success of others on your team.

Does Steve Ballmer own up to his mistakes at Microsoft these days?

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.

Is the working hours mentioned in my workspace correct? I have recently been allocated to a project and it shows timings from 11 pm -9 am..

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

Don't look for your happiness in a job or a career. You will always be chasing it. What makes you happy?

Hourly pay rate

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Anyone recently joined Bosch, is it mandatory to do ECG, chest X-ray and whole other bunch of tests??

If you were an Uber employee that got laid off, how have you been faring?

Hello all. Senior Data Scientist here who just moved to Massachusetts.

My wife texts me that my 15 month old constantly says "da-da" and walks to my office to see if him home and then looks sad when I'm not there. I don't think I can take this emotional torture. 😢

So much baggage brought into the relationship. 2 years in and just discovered a whole lot more. Its been mentally extremely difficult and it’s changed me as a person. Just venting but feel hopeless and I know my SO is suffering. Wish there was a solution but I’m losing hope

Hello. Does anyone know what is the pay for a junior and senior Data Engineer - Web Scraper in @Certik ?

Anyone here taken the Oracle EPBCS certification exam (1Z0-982) that can provide some insight on what the best way to prep is and where I can find valuable resources (question banks)?

Any book recommendations? Preferably shorter < 300

3 Day PTO starts now...my buddy's bachelor party. Forget you, utilization.

Taking PTO until I get paid for a referral bonus (currently am on the bench). I'll be out of pto, so the Friday I get paid I will leave without any notice. Is this bad? (Continued)

If I had a traditional IRA before being employed in a 401k eligible role, can / must I roll that IRA into the 401k or can I leave the accounts separate without deleterious tax consequences?

Book recommendations for a vacation?

Any fans of the series "Corporate" here? It's so deliciously cynical it genuinely makes me happy.

Just started my 10 straight days of the “no pants dance”! Otherwise known as a remote week. Haven’t had one in a very long time.

Looking for recommendations on time management books or apps , tips in general. Have been feeling overwhelmed with all the tasks and projects lately.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

This is a really dumb question, but what does a headache feel like? How do I know if I have one? I have a weird head feeling, but wouldn’t describe it as achey, just annoying

Utilization director told me today that the layoffs won't affect me. My heart goes out to everyone that had to hear otherwise. Here's to hoping y'all find something better and prosper.

Do any of the top consulting firms hire into the Engagement Manager level after an M7 (if they had manager experience elsewhere)? I know MBB probably doesn’t but what about other tier 2 firms after that - and asking for US or Canada

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

How is the Capgemini SAP practice? Recruiter reached out recently for a finance role

Can we all recognize most of us are privileged? If you want to make a difference, even small, I'll give you easiest one you can. Donate $100 to your cities bond fund. We all can afford it. Many cant

Is it recommended to get two full years of consulting experience before looking for a move elsewhere...for more comp (say to another Big 4, industry, attempt at MBB or FAANG)? Already have 8 yoe in the DoD space outside of consulting. And about 16 months of consulting exp
